I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Star Of Siam Waterlily

Waterlily

Nymphaea 'Star Of Siam'

(NIM-fee-uh)

I thought I would share this
really nice blue waterlily flower picture. It is a tropical day-blooming type.
The flower does resemble a sapphire star but also has the additional beauty of
chocolate splashed leaves. The mottled foliage spreads out to a medium sized
plant.

Christmas preparations are
getting in full swing here now. Despite our agreement that we wouldn’t do too
much this year it seems like the same amount s previous years.

Since it is Sunday here is a
bonus snapshot of a waterlily and Koi fish. He just seemed to swim in and out
of the frame as I was lining the shot up.
